Tonsilectomy...ugh...

My little guy had his tonsils out today...ugh! He was such a trooper, I am so proud of him. He went in to surgery around 10, was in recovery by 11 and resting at home by 2:30. If only all surgeries could be that quick!
Finally settled in bed

All you can eat Popsicles...the best part of getting your tonsils out!


Finally asleep again...he was pretty wired from the anesthesia. It took him until 4:30pm to finally fall asleep again...and that was after 2 doses of Lortab! (he doesn't take after his mom in that respect! I am out of it for a few days after general anesthesia!)


Sharing Push-Pops with 2 of his best friends Tommy and Cam'Ron

Funny Anesthesia Story

When Jonathan woke from surgery, his minds was still pretty fuzzy and he was crying...which he couldn't explain why...apparently that is pretty normal after anesthesia...anyway, he asked me through his big tears if he had a friend named Tommy, and I said yes, and then he really started to cry and said..."I can't remember my other friends names!" I started to tell him the names of a few of his other friends, and he says "do I have one named Brian too?" Yes I told him. Then a few minutes later he asked me if had two dogs named "Gus and Angus" It was pretty funny. He thought he had forgotten his friends and his dogs for good. General Anesthesia - yuck!

Tonight though he is up and going as if nothing ever happened. We keep having to tell him...no you can't go out and play, you just had surgery! Here's hoping he will continue to feel this good all week!

Hey Jonathan. Sorry I couldn't stay for one more day and see you after your surgery. I'm glad things went good and that you get to eat a lot of ice cream. Take care of yourself and don't drive your mother too crazy! Love ya bud, it was so fun to get to see you.

Kristen!
I am so sorry! I am so sad I bailed on our playdate! I went to bed last night not feeling so great and then woke up at 4 with Thatcher as soon as I got him fed and back in bed I was running to the bathroom throwing up! (sounds familiar ehh? memories of puking boys at a sleepover?) I have just felt yucky all day! and did not have time to be sick, I had to go to work, a dr. appt., dinner to make for the Coleman's, and our playdate! Well I was useless at work! I did go to the dr. (my FUN 6 week checkup), and Russ made dinner for Charlotte! Obviously I never go tback to you, I crashed and am just waking up at 10:00. Russ said you wanted to know if Jonathan could come by after school this week, that is GREAT, except for Wednesday (I have my RR class at 4:00) but other than that I am free so send him on over!
